It's obvious whats happening, but it won't last. The same thing came and went with muscle cars. The mega dollar ZL1 Camaros, Hemi Cudas, etc. selling for retarded money created a venturi effect dragging up the prices of the base models. It will drop though. We're just hitting the era where people who dreamed of cars that came out in the 80s and 90s have a large amount of expendable cash. In the end the only cars that stay high in value are the ones that are truly enjoyable to drive and own, which the E34 M5 isn't. Speculators will be left holding the bag. E31s are still dirt cheap in the US since despite their rarity and how cool they are people aren't willing to eat a $10k repair on a car that sells for $7k. I think they will appreciate but not by a ton. E24 seems like a much better bet (part of the reason I bought one). R129s will never be worth anything in the US, might be a different story if there's better parts availability in Germany.

>which the E34 M5 isn't
would be with a garishly large turbo.
e34 prices will do what e28's did. When moron market figures out the 3.5 liter was one of the best turbo engines ever (see 200 mph bi-turbo Alpina) they will become unobtanium.
Nice Schnitzer on kijiji:
Bought ten BMW's last year off hurtin' Albertans. Just about out of money, that one would be on my radar if I was flush..

I've reads a lot of dumb things on this board, this one is up there.
Last hand built M car.
I don't even need to say anything else.
>I've reads a lot of dumb things on this board, this one is up there.
just nestle it in there with all the other things that moron types up
Yet I've driven one and you haven't. But of course, it must be good, because it's handbuilt, that means it's better, cheap labor just gives it that special flavor that robots can't.
it makes it more valuable, mr 'f40s are shit compared to f50s and you should listen to me because ive sat in one before'. lol youre probably the worst poster on this board. every single post you make on here is 'i this and i that me me me'. get bent, your opinions are bad and you should feel bad.
You can drive whatever the fuck makes your vagina wet and slippery, the market is speaking. It wants e34 m5's and it doesn't matter if there is an ocean in the way.
Here's a low k mile M5 at auction last week:

People don't drop 70 g on a crap car. Period.
Now fuck off troll.
>ones that are truly enjoyable to drive and own, which the E34 M5 isn't
Speak for yourself fag, the E34 M5 is the most fun car I've driven.
>it makes it more valuable
No, it doesn't
>rest of the post
>I know more about you about cars you work on and drive because I read about them on wikipedia and they are my favorite cars ever!
Sure man
Did I say people weren't asking a lot of money for them? I said if anyone paid that they are getting robbed.
>People don't drop 70 g on a crap car. Period.
Drop by your local Range Rover/Land Rover, Jaguar, or Maserati dealership any day and you can watch it happen every hour or so. As far as classic cars, we're in a huge bubble, and nobody is denying it. People see that a car has gone up in value, and they will pay more than the cars worth with the false hope it will continue to rise. People are buying 912s for $50k and Dinos for $250k, far more foolish than buying an old M5 for $20k.
Here's an interesting read from someone who actually buys and sells classics and exotics
